A close associate of mine does some cool psychedelic artwork:

As far as literature.... have you read Alice in Wonderland? From what I've read, author Carrol was NOT on drugs, but the stories are certainly tripped-out.

The only trippy literature I know is Through the Looking Glass, amazing book!
www.alexgrey.com is the most amazing, trippy artwork

Alex Grey is excellent to look at while tripping. His book "transfigurations" is really good. It has a painting called "The Visionary Origin of Language" ...check it out..the caption reads:
" An early human extrudes utterances from its mouth, forming a lacy flaming cornucopia of speech. An elfin hyperdimensional being perched on a psilocybin mushroom whispers sweet everythings into the ear of the prehistoric spokesmonkey"
I love that! Very McKenna-esque. Not literature of course but oh well.

My advice to you is to pick up an unabridged dictionary and start reading words aloud.
I remember I was trippin at a friend's house and her parents came home, so I reached for a book so it'd look like I was busy. BUT NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED I COULD NOT COMPREHEND ANYTHING. NOTHING MADE SENSE. Reading while you're tripping is quite pointless. Although I did fall on the ground laughing b/c I couldn't understand anything and everytime I looked at a word it changed to another. Its amusing but don't waste your whole trip looking at a book you can't comprehend.

I recomend Robert Pinsky's translation of Dante's Inferno: never have I ever read science fiction with such landscapes, characters, conceptualizations... etc, it is just fantastic; I haven't tried it tripping but I have read heavily stoned and with the aid of a couple of dex and those are some of the most impressive thoughts/images/memories I will ever have...
Mucha is a good artist but I can't seem to think of the others right now. Bosch (his paradise/earth and espicially hell)--one of the first surrealists: a preist in the 1400's if you can believe it...

Check out "Be Here Now" by Ram Dass, if you don't already have it. Read it first, and then trip!
